This is a discussion on Double Din CD Changers within the Electronics/Car Audio forums, part of the Interior Mods category; Why does anybody make an aftermarket 6-disk IN-DASH CD changer? I like to replace my sterio with something more powerful ...

MP3 players you came to the right place my collection is very large also I'm an MP3 junky You say you want more power from the head unit well aftermarkets are about the same power rating but you'll get a little better sound from them, plus if you plan on expanding your system than thats the way to go. Lots of manufacturers make 2 DIN units, I like alpine and eclipse myself. You have some options with the MP3 players depending on how much you want to spend. Do you want portable or hard wired? The only 2 brands I would even consider looking at is Rio or Neo. Neo makes both portable and car units. Right now Rio only has portable units. I have an in dash MP3 head unit right now but I've been doing some research on this and decided to order a Rio Riot, its portable, 20 gig hard drive, and most versatile out of all of them. So if you have tons of MP3s you want at least 20-30 gig hard capactiy. The Neo gets mixed reviews some people love them, some hate them. Organization is key though if you have all your MP3s tagged well you'll be in good shape. Do you plan to upgrade speakers? amp?

Hmm didnt know that thanx for the info...but still if you have tons of MP3s like I do 1000+ you can only fit maybe 90-100 on one CD...I'd rather have the capability of holding ALL my MP3s in the palm of my hand

Is this a CD? Most likely if its a CD older burners wont be able to read the format so a lot of people will be SOL. Or is this something you plug into your USB port and transfer files over? Sounds kinda cool I need more details on what it is exactly.

The model # is MDP-01, it hooks up to any blau stereo that has cd changer controls. check it out at www.blaupunktusa.com

Drool! that is so wild. They've really changed the look of their headunits. They used to be sooo plain looking.

I remember several years ago there was this guy in the UK who made an in-dash MP3 player. Remember, this was in 1999. It costs $2500 and had a 2 gig harddrive. The thing was HUGE. It had a tuck-away module that housed the harddrive.

Times have changed.

If I can only get ODB-II software on a Window CE platform I'd be REAL happy!
